What a busy week it was!  With the Dick Blick award announcement last Monday the tone was set.  After a couple of interviews, one with Palm Springs Guides, an on-line magazine and the other with the Desert Sun, I spent hours in my studio completing a commissioned painting.  Read the Guide article:  http://palmspringsguides.com/People-In-and-Around-Palm-Springs/valley-artist-honored.html        I was introduced to Arts Oasis, an on-line creative community which supports and promotes the arts:     http://artsoasis.org/cm/Home.html

To close out the week, I delivered and hung this painting and received another commission, so I am working on the sketches now.  This will be lemons, on the tree, with a few blossoms.  Check back to see the painting evolve.
